    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 5, 2016
     | 3,251 views

    Obedience is an important factor that should be taken serious when walking with God. Partial obedience is as good as disobedience . When God gives an instruction, He wants us to follow it as it is given even when you think it doesn't make sense to you.

    In Hebrews 12:1–3. we see various aspects of the race, as they are compared to the faithful life in Christ. Christ calls us to 1) Race Freely (Hebrews 12:1), 2) Race Focused (Hebrews 12:2), and 3) Race to the Finish (Hebrews 12:3)

    In the ancient Isthmian games of Greece, a pedestal stood at the finish line, and on it hung a wreath—the winner’s prize. No one runs a race without some expectation of reward. The reward may be nothing more than a ribbon or a trophy or a wreath of leaves. It may be a prize worth a ...read more

    Can A Person Interpret Scripture And Give Their Own Meaning?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 23, 2019

     | 3,719 views

    Some believe that the 66 books that make up the Bible are insufficient, so they continuously look for private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential revelation from God. - A Multi-Part Message

    There is a growing belief in the church today that a person can interpret and give their own meaning to Scripture because Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27-28 ESV), as well as, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
